The earliest tissue engineering evidence dates back to the old Sanskrit texts around 3000 BCE, wherein skin grafting was used to reconstruct facial features. Almost 5000 years later, the term tissue engineering was coined by bioengineer Yuan-Cheng Fung in a proposal to the National Science Foundation (NSF)<\/a>. Ultimately, the publication of the review article titled \u201cTissue Engineering\u201d in 1993 by Robert Langer and Joseph Vacanti caused a widespread awareness<\/a><\/strong> of the technology, which resulted in an exponential increase in research and development. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Back in 2002,\nrealizing that the droplets of ink in a standard inkjet printer are about the\nsame size as human cells, Professor Makoto Nakamura decided to adapt the\ntechnology, and by 2008 had created a working bioprinter that could print out bio\ntubing similar to a blood vessel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
